Gumbo is a tasty soup that our Louisiana Friends enjoy, that can be made with a little bit of everything.

To make a good Dance Gumbo we make a roux of Swing and Salsa, throw in some Ballroom and Zydeco, sprinkle with some Waltz and Country Western Two Step, and blend in some Cha Cha Cha and improv and you have a tasty treat for the feet.

 

 

Dance Gumbo

Every fourth Saturday of the Month. Triangle Dance Studio 2603 S. Miami Blvd, Durham 27703.

We had a great Waltz Gumbo last month and we had so many requests to repeat that we are going to do it again, maybe notched down to about 40% waltz and the rest, the classic roux

Next Dance Gumbo January 28 Classic Gumbo w  DJ Lew Shiner  Lesson 8 PM. Dance 8:45 ish.

Recipe for Classic Gumbo: The Minnestrone is about 35% Swing (mix of East Coast, West Coast, Lindy), about 20% Latin (Salsa, Cha Cha, Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata) and the rest Ballroom, Tango, Zydeco, Hustle, Waltz, Country Western Two Step, and Improv.

If we do a Themed Dance half of the dance will be the theme of that month. If we do a Classic Gumbo, then it is just the Classic mix. Kapish .
